3. It is relatively expensive to fire off a process to fix a source
file, therefore write apply tests to avoid unnecessary fix
processes. The preferred apply tests are "select", "bypass" and
"c_test" because they are performed internally. "test" sends
a command to a server shell that actually fires off one or more
processes to do the testing. Avoid it, if you can, but it is
still more efficient than a fix process. Also available is
"mach". If the target machine matches any of the named
globbing-style patterns, then the machine name test will pass.
It is desired, however, to limit the use of this test.
"c_test" because they are performed internally. The available
tests are:
* select - Run a regex on the contents of the file being considered.
All such regex-es must match.
* bypass - Run a regex on the contents of the file being considered.
No such regex may match.
* c_test - call a function in fixtests.c. See that file.
The next two tests are relatively slow because they must be handled
in a separate shell process. Some platforms do not support server
shells, so the whole process is even slower and more cumbersome there.
* mach - Match the output of config.conf against a series of globbing
patterns. It must match at least one of the patterns, unless
"not-machine" has also been specified. If that has been
specified, then the config.conf output may not match any of
the patterns.
* test - These should be arguments to the program, "/bin/test".
You may perform multiple commands, if you enclose them
in backquotes and echo out valid test arguments. For
example, you might echo out '0 -eq 1' if you want a false
result, or '0 -eq 0' for a true result.
These tests are required to:
